Muang Thai Restaurant

My wife and I have a long love affair with Thai food, after spending a few months in Thailand. The problem is, it never taste just like there. That is until we stumbled upon this beautiful place. A family business, Honest Thai food, base on the mother’s recipes. Nice people, very welcoming. Attention to detail, and ingredients are as close to Thai as you could possibly find in this part of the world. I would recommend eating at the restaurant, because it’s just so pleasant. Highly recommended.

My favorite Thai restaurant in London! My friends and I go every week. The owner is so friendly and accommodating - and caters to vegans! We love the papaya salad, panang curry and pad kee mao. And I dream about their sticky rice, with and without mango. So good!

I'm a regular here most weeks! The service is always delightful. The kitchen's super accommodating of vegans - personal faves include the papaya salad and the Panang tofu. The wine list marks vegan wines - more of this please, other restaurants :) Love the beautifully cushioned seating area.

So good, I had 2 mains. Starters of Money bags and duck spring rolls (delicious!). Mains of PAD KHING with chicken and steamed rice. Second was prawn red Thai curry with coconut rice. It was all fantastic. Highly recommended.

I've been here 3 times. The food has always been nice, though the portions of rice are far too small for the meal.

There are a couple of reasons why I've given it a low rating and while I'm probably not going to go back I really hope they read these reviews and make changes.

The first time I ate there, I ate outside and was asked to pay for the meal before eating, this included a service charge. I was told it was because they had had people walk off without paying. The food was nice enough so I thought I'd come again.

The last time two times, I've felt very rushed. The waitress, without asking, took my plate as I was putting the last bit of food in my mouth (I am not exaggerating), then stood waiting for me to hand her the fork.

The owner is quite a harsh lady, she berates her staff in front of customers for doing things I'm sure she is asking them to do (clearing tables too quickly). This lady really should not be in a front of house position. She's curt with everyone and rushes around the restaurant cleaning tables when there is no one to be seated at them, just not a relaxing experience.

Response to owner.

I'm glad you're reading customer reviews. I can promise you, nobody "expects" to have their table cleared while they're still eating, then have them stand over you and wait for you to take the fork out of your mouth. If a customer is in a rush, which I wasn't, then let that customer tell you. This has absolutely nothing to do with customer expectations.

If you feel it necessary to charge those customers seated outside before they've eaten, at least hold off on the service charge.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. Very helpful friendly staff. Really good varied menu choices. Great to have some fish choices. Excellent tasty food, cooked and presented to perfection. I had the Red Thai sea bass which was delicious. My friend had the Thai Green vegetable curry which had a variety of vegetables and tasted very good. Our starters, money bags and tempura vegetables were equally good. Highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to visit again. Just sorry I live out of town.

Very pushy staff, a lot of the vegetables seemed to be already cut frozen bag veg from the grocery store.. the flavours were nice but the quality definitely isn’t there for the price.

Seemed everything was bought from a packet and cooked to order, no fresh ingredients at all - especially the fish cakes and squid.

Good location if you’re going to the Roundhouse afterwards, but otherwise definitely wouldn’t bother visiting.

Wow what a little gem. My friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat before a gig at the Roundhouse on Saturday evening. We hadn’t booked but the had a table for us. I had beef Thai green curry and garlic rice. My mate had a pork stir fry-i’m not sure which she had but it looked nice and she ate it all. We had a fancy starter for 2. Good customer service.
